(also in excel) is to retrieve some information (like a query) from th
data file without opening the data file (as thee data is too large). Ca
I do so? If yes, how? Thank
 
This formula will retrieve the value in cell A1 on sheet 1 of filename
Book1Test.xls, located in the C: root......adjust according to your needs.

='C:\[Book1test.xls]Sheet1'!A1

Well, it works in Excel 97, SR-2. Maybe not in whatever version you have
installed.......have you tried it? If so, what results did you get?
